Doesn’t load/work well

This app keeps crashing and it’s really doing my nerves, it’s also got the option to save the song lyrics you like but when you go to find them they have been deleted or moved so a secret hidden folder, either way I would recommend the music and lyrics App or just use google because this app is super slow and If you can make yourself an app better than this, it isn’t hard by the looks of things

Love it!

Been a supporter of genius since it was rap genius and with this app it just keeps getting better.

I enjoy using this app because not only is it the best lyrics app/website out there, but I love the fact that I can contribute to some of my favourite song’s lyric’s descriptions and definitions and that I can see other people’s opinions on them too.

I especially love how it brings a community of listeners together to speak on their favourite songs, albums and artists.

Great app and great website. Five stars.
